About Me

i couchsurfed a LOT in my early 20s, hosted a fair amount in my mid 20s, took a 10ish year hiatus and am finally back! i'm currently on a one-year leave from my job as a labor organizer, living in guatemala and trying to figure out who i am outside of work (while mejorando mi español and volunteering).

my partner and i want to visit peru, bolivia, and ecuador this summer. please send me your recommendations!

---------

hice un monton de couchsurfing cuando tenía 20 y pico años, fui anfitriona bastante cuando estaba en la mitad de mis 20s, me tomé una pausa por casi 10 años, y por fin he regresado! actualmente, tengo una pausa de mi trabajo como organizadora sindical, estoy viviando en guatemala e intentando conocer mi misma sin trabajo (cuando mejorar mi español y hacer trabajo voluntario).

mi pareja y yo queremos conocer peru, bolivia, y ecuador este verano! por favor, enviarme tus recomendaciones!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i have never been part of a community as welcoming and kind as cs. my traveling experiences were always made richer by my kind and generous hosts, and i had so much fun hosting when i lived in dayton, oh. i am excited to start surfing again and see what this next chapter has in store.

nunca había estado un parte de una comunidad tan amigable y acogedora que CS. mis experencias de viajar siempre mejoraron gracias a mis amables y generosos anfitriones, y me divertí mucho cuando fui anfitriona en dayton. estoy emocionada empezar couchsurfing otra vez y para ver qué sucederá después.
